try ls (or ls -o or ls-l) | less (scroll either way) end it with q
Just pipe it through the `less' paging program
dir -p is just like dir | more

An easy one, enclose the string in single quotes thus:
cd 'My Document' , same goes for making them also etc.
Double quotes work, but oddly aren't as strong, so parentheses
and such will give you some troubles with the double quotes.
BTW: are you using a file manager for file managing and
previewing, moving and renaming mp3's and jpgs etc?
just enter mc
